The Galapagos Islands, the Amazon rainforest, volcanoes and the Andes all mesh to create a breathtaking country. Many festivals and many outdoor activities can keep you busy on your trip and this is a fairly safe region to visit with many tourist facilities. There are numerous tours of areas like the rainforest, for hiking or climbing tours, for rafting and tours of the Galapagos Islands as well.
